I researched the VW concerto during my grad school days.

The story went something like this: RVW wrote the concerto and stated to Philip Catliet something like I'll write a concerto for tuba and, if you don't like it, write it again. If you still do not like it, I'll rescore the whole thing for harmonica. The first draft was OK and later RVW wrote a solo piece for Larry Adler, the famous harmonica player. This information came from RVW's biography.
